As a busy woman, you may be interested to discover that eyelash perming is a step you can take to shave minutes off of your makeup routine. Eyelash perming can make your eyelashes look brilliant without the need for anything else like extensions or mascara.
If you are searching for ways to look refreshed throughout a hectic day and you wish you could make the effects last forever, you almost can. Though the timing varies for each individual, lash perms are generally noticeable for up to two or three months.

Procedure

Lashes are treated with a special solution, and then wrapped around a mini sponge or roller. The perming solution is applied to the upturned lash, and then it is left to set. The chemical reaction breaks and reform the bonds of the hair. This reaction, softening the lash's inner structure between the protein chains of the hair. The hair swells, stretches and softens, then is molded around the shape of the perm rod to from a curl.

The procedure is performed in a salon or spa by a trained, licensed and certified individual. Every state requires individuals performing the procedure to have a valid Cosmetology license.

If this is a cosmetic procedure you are looking to try, for safety purposes you may want to educate yourself on both the benefits and risks involved.

Benefits

You no longer have to use an eyelash curler to get uplifted lashes. With the eyelash perming procedure, you can have wider open eyes whether you have just woken up, are in the middle of an intense physical workout or are fresh out of the shower. Those who have very straight lashes may particularly be curious about having them permed.

Risks

The possibility of weakening your lashes by exposing them to toxic perming solutions is a very real one, which leads to lash breakage and a quicker rate of falling out.

Do not attempt to perm eyelashes, whether your own or someone else's, if you are not a professional. There are do-it-yourself eyelash perming kits being sold for home use, but realize that you are putting the health of your eyes in danger should you try this without a certification.
